Cheiroloma hispidulum Calotis hispidula, commonly known as the Bogan flea or bindi eye,[1] is a hairy species of daisy found in many parts of mainland Australia.

[4] The species grows in sandy soil on flats, low dunes and small hills and appears to be associated with Acacia woodlands and shrublands dominated by chenopods.

Calotis hispidula grows in heavy clays to shallow stony soils, in a wide variety of communities; it is widespread, especially in inland districts.

[7] There are no obvious threats to Calotis hispidula and it may not be in decline; however, weed invasion, clearing, agricultural activity, and grazing may impact this species.

Experts doubt that Calotis plants survive more than two years, and it is suggested that this may be because of the invasion of Narrow-leaf Hop-bush, which tends to suppress herb growth.

[5] The seeds are long lived in the soil and occasional substrate disturbance will not suppress the long-term viability of Calotis hispidula.
